Like come on, that's one well of an optioned title for an article that links to an article with a completely different title.
The very first sentence of the article is, "The Intel Core i7-7700K is what happens when a chip company stops trying."
- mrmondo 10y agoNoted. However, Title: Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake review: Is the desktop CPU dead? Subtitle: With identical performance to Skylake, Intel brings desktop performance to a standstill. *edit: while I'm not in any way sticking up for intel (I love RISC architecture personally) I do wonder if this cycle is just aligning technologies such as DDR4 / PCIe bus speeds, chipset smarts such as NVMe pass through to bypass the SCSI subsystem etc... more than it was outrun / be directly faster than the previous generation. I might be wrong (again no research done here!) but it wouldn't surprise me if it was a feature alignment cycle. IMO - what we need is ECC on the desktop i7 range, that would be a killer.
- xorblurb 10y agoI'm all for ECC, but honestly you can just buy Xeon E3 and cheap motherboards supporting it. I would also prefer that ECC is deployed everywhere (including on portable devices), but if it is not going to happen, I will just continue to buy chips that supports it (on markets where they exist...) So what annoys me is not that Core i7 do not support ECC. What annoys me are markets where ECC does not exist at all, like ultra portable devices, and to a slightly lesser measure laptops (I've recently seen at least a workstation laptop featuring ECC, although the price was insane IIRC)
- seanp2k2 10y agoDell and Lenovo at least offer ECC on their top-of-the-line mobile workstations. Mobile Xeons too.
